Abstract

Background

Despite the broad agreement that structural racism is problematic, there remains significant confusion as to what structural racism means and how to research it.

Purpose

Perform a comprehensive concept analysis of structural racism and propose an operational definition.

Methods

Walker and Avant’s eight-step, iterative method was used for conducting the concept analysis.

Discussion

Structural racism has five defining attributes: oppressive racial ideologies, dynamic state, inverse-related influence, temporality, and a false sense of “racial equity.” Structural racism has six antecedents: explicit racial bias, implicit racial bias, racial discrimination, institutional racism, cultural racism, and systemic racism. There are three consequences of structural racism: group categorization, unequal treatment, and racial inequities.

Conclusion

To combat and defeat the historical and ongoing impact of structural racism, conceptual clarity must be established. Only then can an operational definition be proposed and instruments developed that correspond with the nature of structural racism.

结构性种族主义：概念分析

背景尽管人们普遍认为结构性种族主义是个问题，但对于结构性种族主义的含义以及如何对其进行研究，仍然存在很大的困惑。目的对结构性种族主义进行全面的概念分析，并提出一个可操作的定义。结构性种族主义有六个前因：显性种族偏见、隐性种族偏见、种族歧视、制度性种族主义、文化种族主义和系统性种族主义。结构性种族主义有三个后果：群体分类、不平等待遇和种族不平等。结论要打击和消除结构性种族主义的历史和持续影响，就必须明确其概念。只有这样，才能提出可操作的定义，并开发出符合结构性种族主义性质的工具。
